So, as much as I love the power of CSS, it has really been killing me lately.
I've been tweaking the hell out of our website at work, and every time I change one thing, something else seems to break. I have to deal with supporting IE6/7 and Firefox, so my headaches are 3 times as bad as I thought they would be.
Now, I'm trying to be smart about the code I am writing, using conditional comments to make sure IE6 acts the way it should, but that hasn't solved all of my problems. It has helped, and I don't want to downplay the coolness factor that it is available for us to use. The question rises again, however — Why must we be forced to use them?! Oh, right. IE6 is like the rash that won't go away...
I'm going to be redesigning my blog soon, and I'm definitely going to use CSS, but to hell with IE6. The only browsers I'm going to even think about supporting are IE7 and Firefox 2.0+. And yes Cris, I'd be happy to do some CSS voodoo for you, but with the same stipulation: no IE6 support.
On the upside of life, my girlfriend is being great and is helping me by cleaning my apartment, and she made some fantastic chili for dinner tonight. :)
Later!

Thanks, dude. I'm fine dropping IE6 from my support list -- as you know, I'm not a huge fan either.
Supporting so many platforms does suck. What are some of the more interesting challenges you've overcome? You should post a few of them.
Hey dude, you missed your deadline :-p.
I'll let it slide this week...but ONLY because it's that time of year again.
Have a good one!
PS: Trying out Vista; so far, SOSO
